I have installed POV-Ray on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS box by following fossfreedom's post.

It worked fine the first time when I ran the command

~$ povray +Ipovpawn.pov

but now I get 

  0:00:00 Parsing
Possible Scene File Parser Initialization Error: Could not find file
'povpawn.pov'
Scene File Parser Initialization Error: Cannot open input file.
Total Scene Processing Times
  Parse Time:    0 hours  0 minutes  0 seconds (0 seconds)
  Photon Time:   0 hours  0 minutes  0 seconds (0 seconds)
  Render Time:   0 hours  0 minutes  0 seconds (0 seconds)
  Total Time:    0 hours  0 minutes  0 seconds (0 seconds)

I tried moving pawn.pov file from /home/me/povray-3.6.1 to /usr/local/share/povray-3.6 and got 

access denied check povray.conf

    If you can post the exact command you used. It is normal that you could not write to `/usr/local/share/` as a normal user, so you may be missing some option. – Salem Mar 20 '13 at 18:19
  • Try to post **all** the commands and output of the terminal in just one group. Is not useful show the output and then other output and then the command that return the first output, it is confusing! – Lucio Mar 20 '13 at 20:51

If the file is called pawn.pov as you say later in the question, then the command you want is

povray +Ipawn.pov

The command you said in the question has a "pov" too many.
